    ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING — Boss Guide Ahead!

    Boss GuideBe aware that there are always multiple ways to win these fights, but this guide focuses on strategies that rely mostly on basic abilities, ensuring that anyone can follow along regardless of their build or optional skills. Boss: WolfBullLocation: Prison Tower Floor 1HP: 4875Shields: 3Weakness: Sword, IceCommands: Fireball, Double Attack, Strike All, AbideEXP: 356Gold: 500Possible drops: Mana Orange (M), Healing Berries (M)Set Up: The WolfBull uses Fireball so equip Copper Axe, Copper Sword, Copper Helm and Copper Shield (both Adol and Red Eyes) but keep Armor on Metal for this fight (the Copper ones’ are vulnerable to Fire)Strategy:Recommended: at least level 9 for Adol and Red Eyes.First turn use Ice with Adol and boost attack with Red Eyes to immediately break him (He will however have 2 attacks between Adol and Red Eyes).While he is broken, boost with Adol and use “Amputation” for a lot of damage and guard with Red Eyes (maybe even twice) to get a lot of boost points.So every turn you can Boost and attack with Red Eyes, immediately breaking him while guarding with Adol to get Boost points for giving him damage when broken. Of course heal with items when needed. Keep in mind whenever you guard you can see where your character will come in the order. Guarding is an important basic ability as it always does 3 things: higher defense, faster turn and more Boost Points.Boss: CaptainLocation: CoburgHP: 5750Shields: 3Weakness: Axe, FireCommands: Strike All, Abide, Fire Strike, AmputationEXP: 380Gold: 500Possible drops: Mana Orange (M), Healing Berries (M)Set Up: You could leave the Copper Armor out again for the Fire Strike, For the rest, everything Copper is strongest at this point. Remember that you don’t need a save spot in Town, you can save your game everywhere there.Strategy:Recommended: at least level 10 for Adol and Red Eyes.This isn’t a particularly tough fight. Start by taking out the two small enemies first while keeping your HP around 1000 using He...
